Can you describe what the Reign of Terror is?
The Reign of Terror was a period of violence during the French Revolution. It lasted from September, 1793 to July 1794 and is named for the many executions of those denounced as "enemies of the state", mainly in Paris but also in other areas of France. Most were guillotined (beheaded), as were King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, earlier in 1793.

There were an awfull lot of people involved in the French Revolution, but to name 4 of the most important figures: - King Louis XVI - Queen Marie Antoinette - Maximilian Robespierre - Napoleon Bonaparte
Who held power in France from the French Revolution to the end of Napoleon's reign?
The time period after the French Revolution was primarily characterized by Napoleon Bonaparte holding power in France. Although a French Directory government was set up after the Revolution, it quickly collapsed, paving the way for Napoleon to take control.
What Was Robespierre's Role In The French Revolution?
He was not a hero at all. He went too far with his revolutionary ideas. He killed thousands of people, sending them to the guillotine, just because they still believed in the monarchial system Maximilien Robespierre wanted to get rid of so desperately. He killed everybody that thought differently than him. He was the creator of the reign of terror and was eventually sent to the guillotine himself in 1794 after the French turned against him when their eyes opened and say what he had done. He didn't even have a trial, and was beheaded faced upwards.
